Update (1410ET): Biden kept it relatively short Monday, refusing to take questions, but still somehow remembering to urge American parents to make sure their kids are masked-up whenever they leave the house…

…and to warn American adults who have so far refused to get the vaccine: if you were waiting for full FDA approval, that time has come.
He added: “The moment you’ve been waiting for is here. It’s time for you to go get your vaccination. And get it today.”
Let me say this loud and clear: If you are one of the millions of Americans who have said that you will get the shot when it had full FDA approval — that has now happened.
The moment you have been waiting for is here — and the time to get vaccinated is today.

President Biden calls on more companies to require COVID vaccine for workers now that the Pfizer shot has full FDA approval: "Vaccination requirements have been around for decades…It only makes sense to require a vaccine to stop the spread of COVID-19" https://t.co/kj6CrKHAoT pic.twitter.com/0yjn8fiXKc

Biden has been pretty tardy lately, so don’t expect this to start on time.
But when he does appear, readers can watch live below:
